0.63c - development version

Tow · October 26, 2008, 9:07pm

Hi!
We’ve prepared a new development version for further testing. It will be probably released after several more fixes as 0.64 (hopefully on Nov 1).

Changelog:

sprites from /Sprites folder are handled correctly now

several fixes for pathfinder and path arrows

clicking on a tile in advmap view when a path is shown will not only hide it but also calculate a new one

water elemental will really be treated as 2 hex creature

potential infinite loop in reverseCreature removed

better handling of battle cursor

fixed blocked shooter behavior

slowed map scrolling

blocked map scrolling when dialog window is opened

it’s possible in battles to check remeaining HP of neutral stacks

heroes regain 1 mana point each turn

support for mistycisim and intelligence skills

partial support for Magic Arrow spell

fixed memory leak

fixed bug with dying unit

minor changes

Added some kind of simple chatting functionality through console. Implemented several WoG cheats equivalents:
a) woggaladriel -> vcmiainur
b) wogoliphaunt -> vcminoldor
c) wogshadowfax -> vcminahar
d) wogeyeofsauron -> vcmieagles
e) wogisengard -> vcmiformenos
f) wogsaruman -> vcmiistari
g) wogpathofthedead -> vcmiangband

Hiring heroes and tavern are only partially done.
Tavern window doesn’t have thief guild, gossips and animation. There is no guarantee that at least one hero of player alignment will be available in tavern. Finally, hero after hiring doesn’t disappear. Please, don’t recruit him again (=crash). That issue will be fixed in 0.64.
Sorry for inconvenience - it’s really big feature

I’ve got a newly installed WinXP SP3 and it keeps on crashing when I open the latest 0.63c VCMI client or server executable, with or without the Comodo Firewall active. Any ideas?

Best regards,
Steven.

Could you put your log files on the forum? They should be in the main directory with VCMI.

Is it possible to make it so that instead of at least one hero being of the player’s alignment, its at least one hero of that town’s alignment? (If its a tavern on the adventure map it should be totally random)

It is but I don’t know if we should alter original H3 behaviour here. It rather can’t be considered to be a bug.

Here they are. Basically the game crashes as soon as it starts up.

Best regards,
Steven.

Try attached binaries. I’ve added more logging so it’ll hopefully tell us where is the problem.

Bugs with prayer animation showed when stack is attacked and showing “getting hit” animation twice are fixed. Don’t report them here
